Are you sure that is what you want? No matter how nice they are, they will be fake trees. Also, anything with very large container will cover what looks like the only vent in the room. I suggest you wait for your lovely art and rug to arrive and reassess. Two matching ( but not identical) framed pieces on either size of the window would work. Perhaps something very different from the pice above the buffet - black and white prints, framed pieces of antique fabric or needlepoint, etc.

Good point,...it’s what I think I want but perhaps waiting is best. I’d love suggestions as I’m not married to the idea of the plants. I’d like to have REAL trees there but never enough light, and I own a cat that have a field day in it. I’ll have to check the vent situation...you might be right! Thank you for your comment, I appreciate all opinions.

Olive trees, monstera plant are in trend now.

Thank you, I don’t think I ever would have thought of them. We have a new store locally and will definitely check them out!

If you want real plants, you could hang a house plant from the ceiling in each corner. The cat wouldn’t be able to get to them and there are lots of plants that do well in low light, like spider plants.

I like hanging plants but I don’t think that would fill the area or give me the look I want. Great idea and I hadn’t thought of it, but probably won’t work for me in this instance. Thank you for your suggestion.

I’m going to look into the handmade artificial trees from decors Veronneau, they sound lovely. Thank you fir the recommendation.

You could consider two separate items that are roughly similar in height/scale. A low-light plant on the right. On the left (vent) side, a series of decorative plates hung on the wall, a small leggy table with a large ceramic on top, etc.

Like the direction you're going in...

I think the pic hung over buffet is a tad too high

Thank you, you might be right!

Looking very pretty. Are you planning to hem the drapery? They would hang nicer if they just “kissed” the floor. Some are showing a slight bend like a break in a man’s trouser but puddling is a bit dated? Love the art and it does need lowering about 1-2”. Very nice changes though. Love the crown molding color for trim. Very classy.

Hi Flo! Thanks for the advice … I have thought of hemming, realizing this is a look that isn’t really on trend anymore. If I stay here, I’m going to have them hemmed, I’ve never really liked the way they look. Any suggestions for table top? Light fixture is large and although it doesn’t hang real low, I was wondering if a long low piece for the table would look nice. I could always use candle sticks at varying heights?

You have some beautiful pieces in that curio cabinet so I would try a grouping of some of the taller vases and find a long tray to arrange them on. A metal one. I will look around. I wish the rug was a foot or so longer so the host chairs stayed on the rug when pushing back chair.
